Tweet Videos with Twitter’s Vine

Twitter launched a new video service for its smartphone app. The feature called Vine helps users to capture videos up to 6 seconds in length. The videos can then be embedded into tweets and be shared with millions on the networking site.

Vine is presently available on for iOS users. However, unlike Facebook which is partial to the OS and releases features exclusively for Apple products, Twitter has promised for the Vine feature being extended to other platforms.

Just like in tweets, the idea behind vine is to keep it short, simple but interesting. Twitter symbolises short and sweet with the minimum 140 character limit for texts and now the 6 second limit for videos. But we hope the 6-second limit does not make people miss out on better, longer moments.

__GOOGLEADCODE__Vine has been brought over by twitter but functions even independently. According to the post on Vine blog:

You don't need a Twitter account to use Vine (but signing up is a little quicker if you do!).

The developer company is definitely pushing its association with the social networking biggie. However, the launch of the app faced many hiccups with the private contact information of Vine publishers going public or videos from one twitter account getting posted under another’s name.
